Guitar Solo Using a Violin Bow ( 3 of 3 )

[realbadman444]

pretty cool for someone named bobby crispy.

[alphamone]

cool, sounds like some kind of robotic whale.

[nothingbutrock666]

woah, I've gotta try that!!!

[ledzepfan02]

Is the tab for this cover/lesson on your website ?

[coolcourky]

What the flip!?

[LinkBulletBill]

Hey Bobby, check out the performances of Jimmy Page, which you already saw obviously, but what I mean I never saw you change your pickup, but there is a thing that Jimmy does that allows you change the pickup going up and down...

But awesome! Creepy! Frighting! Chilling! Jawdropping!

[yourGothicfriend]

Im so trying that

[abrigosdegutapercha1]

i you use no pedal in the amp, does it sound?

i can't make it sound with my violin bow, my peavey telecaster and my peavey amp

[clewi1091]

are you in standard tuning?

[jakerulezzzz]

can the violin bow break your strings??

[InbictaProductionzZ]

nope

its horsehair, guitars strings are metal, no way theyll break.not even nylon strings would

[asmorgan88]

Nope - you heard the same note in different octaves.

[madeofmetal7067]

Hmm, I have perfect pitch and I'm hearing E's, Eb's, G's, D's, C's... sounds like more than one note to me

[jaymanleonard]

you obviously know fuck all about guitars then dont you?!

[jaymanleonard]

have a listen to Joe Satriani album "Is there love in space" and you'll hear many notes coming from a bowed guitar

[OneOfTheFire]

you could so totally use this for the intro of invincible for muse

[Teutonic1250]

how do you do that? i have a bow and i cant do it on my guitar!

[UltimateRocker55]

gotta have to right effects and a wah and the right technique

[zok2224]

rosin 8 u need rosin

[SonOfASubmariner27]

That was fucking awesome!!! I am going to buy a pedal and a bow too! I love this! Amazing!

[Oat017]

neat stuff o_o

[moreaupj]

hi do you have a lesson showing how to do this technique, didn't see on your site, thx

[armenchik619]

you can also try doing it right above the bridge pickup. ive noticed that in almost every video that thats where there doing it. :)

[RockCritic09]

HELP: I bought a viola bow, got rosin here's the problem. I've probaly bowed my little rectangle of rosin 100 times and nothing, no sound at all. Anyone know what the problem is? I dont think the rosin is sticking but i have no idea why not. HELPPPP!

[NuclearArbitor]

you have to push, not just run it over the top. given what you've said and the fact that i don't play guitar i really can't help more

[StupidMovieinc]

u also have to key the rosin

[baronron98]

i tried that cuz i play violin and guitar, so i took the bow and tried it out. Didn't sound right but it sounded pretty sick.

[megadeth22885]

well.. its pointless to try this since with a guitar bodies shape, and fingerboard/bridge radius youll never be able to selectively sound the strings you want.. should get one of those electronic guitar bows

[littlepiggie11]

SICK VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[QUINN1313]

if anyone doesnt have a bow string im working on a technique that uses your finger naill its alot harder than a bow and you have too move it back and forth very fast to make noise but ive written a song with it so its practical

[spartanguitar117]

lol, awesome just like Jimmy Page! sweet!!

[ftele]

~Awesome sound effect man...~~

[koolc007]

how the hell do i bow my guitar doesnt make the sound when i rub the bow to it i have a 4/4 bow will ti work? please help!

[oscarboegli]

you need som rasin, sorri spelled that wrong, im dislexic...but i tryed it without rasin, and it didn't work...

[guitarherorocks7]

thats so cool

[tye1989]

HA! I always wondered if that where possible, that's fricken sweet!

[jwax5150]

hey i have a strat w/ a PAF i put in the bridge will that work???

[DarkFreaker]

how do u do for make that ecko...?.. are u usin pedals or somethin? or just the bow

[KetsidoKaishin]

Read the description

Boss ME-5 effects unit, and a wah pedal

[robsmith000]

jesus christ im tryin dat!!!

[FinlandPantera]

Fucking nice!

[KdotYdotMdot]

Why? I'm sorry You're not Jimmy Page...

It was ok but just... ok

[BobbyCrispy]

i'm not trying to be "jimmy page" just because i use a bow!! i'm not trying to be anybody....it' like saying someone is trying to be jimi hendrix because they play a fender stratocaster, or trying to be eric clapton because they play a les paul...

[LukasAuton]

i don't really think of LP's when i think of Clapton.... but thats just me i guess

[IJmackdaddy]

@BobbyCrispy claptons most famous guitar is blackie, his strat :P

[CannibalGuitarPlayer]

@BobbyCrispy Clapton's signature guitar is a black fender strat, its called the black duck or something.

that was an amazing performance, i need to get me a violin bow. could i use any other type of bow?

[drledsabbath]

@CannibalGuitarPlayer Actually the more preferred ones are size 1 violin or cello bows.

[93652]

Damn bob been a big fan of your vids as of late and love this sounds errie and dark

I FuC@#n Love it man

rock on

[dragon394]

is dat a german bow? cuz u hold it like one

[Ajax6001]

ya it sure looks like it.

[BobbyCrispy]

i'm not sure as there is no brand name on it...all that i can tell you is that i bought it a pawn shop outside of toronto.

[Ajax6001]

thats too bad would've wanted to know but good job and Merry X-mas

[scarfacedan09]

do u need a Les Paul to do the solo or can u also use a strat for example?

[BobbyCrispy]

it's almost impossible to play on a strat! best to play on a "les paul" style guitar with the pick guard removed.

[scarfacedan09]

oh ok thanks because i always had trouble since i want to learn this solo but i only have a strat and i have all the necessary effects but when i play its all noice because the bow cant reach the e strings or make chords.

[Frillkrydder]

@scarfacedan09 I sometimes uses a Fender Strat

[thevinnymaster]

@scarfacedan09 I do know that Jimmy Page first played with a bow using his Telecaster (Most notably done in London 1969 while playing Dazed and Confused)

[KdotYdotMdot]

No it's French... I guess he's holding like that cause I think he's kinda in a tight area... maybe

[skillfulbeast]

Nice man...Best person ive seen do it...except Jimmy Page 0_o

[faskaloid]

I'm still waiting, week after week and hope, that once upon a time the day will come, when I'll find here Bobby's video about how to play Love of my life by Queen. And 12 string guitar is not a must :-)))

[BobbyCrispy]

sorry, nothing was faked in this video...the bow and the strings and the resulting sound of the two are very real!!!

[woolywoodsmen]

cool video so possible!

[7f2]

idiot

[BigJ385]

helldog... go screw a donkey

[hetfieldfan2]

dude, that was awsome. it sounded wickid

[labdak]

that sounded sweet! lol im gonna try it with my sisters violin bow!!

[Zepfan93]

cool dude i was thinking of doing that man. Buying a bow how much did it cost.

[BobbyCrispy]

$28.00 canadian :-)

[Zepfan93]

I was thinking it cost that much i saw it at samash.

[AndroydeA]

well done, sir. i think it's not easy to keep under control bad resonances in that way. but maybe you're using an open tuning...very good taste, anyway, and not only a freak show!

[brakspbfun]

lol dude sounds preety cool eep up the good work and long live led zepplein!!! thanks for posting!

[Romio85]

WOW that's awesom!!!

[LevZteR]

Gilmore Jr.? That sounds so much like Pink Floyd!!! Heh, there are so many ways to play guitar... makes me wanna try new things more once in a while.

[ryandeguzman]

hey man awesome playin, i just noticed that your from brampton to lol, are you ever at long and mcquade?

[BobbyCrispy]

i just bought my new guitar at long and mcquade about 5 weeks ago!! i play it in my new classical guitar videos ( and i live in bramalea, small world! )

[Frankie727]

coooool!! what were you smokin' when you wrote that?? lol

[BobbyCrispy]

haha, i know what you mean.....well i was pretty straight when i wrote it:-)

[DylanStewart88]

how often do you change your strings

[BobbyCrispy]

not often enough,lol!! about every six months...when you own and play 7 guitars, changing your stings all the time can get expensive...

[magicmo13]

dude your awesome i LOVE your vids keep it up man

[bluenazz]

Great stuff Bobby! Are you playing that in standard tuning or are you in a different tuning? Thanks!

[BobbyCrispy]

i use "C" tuning for this one:-)

[BobbyCrispy]

"C" tuning:-)

[adilghanty]

wow man the beginning was awesome with the effects and bowing. pretty good solo too:D

[crac4a5]

well i dont find that awesome. I was doing that when i was 11 but ...ive heard fu$%#d up stuff with the same idea.

[theguy1234567890]

dude i love this. thanks for tellin me about it!

[PDXvlog]

JP from PDX: Haha, I always love these things, great use of the effects man!

[bubejunkie]

[IPlayedGuitarHero]

[BonzoMcBonzo]

[IPlayedGuitarHero]

[BonzoMcBonzo]

[joefielding1972]
